Ofra Liquid Lipstick Haul! + Swatches + Before/Afters

 If you check back to my January Lip Monthly Unboxing blog post you will see that I got an Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in that bag in the color "Laguna Beach" and I fell head over LIPS in love with it.

Ofra had a 50% Valentines day sale! These long lasting liquid lipsticks (gloss to matte) are regularly $19.90 each. Which means I got two for 19.90! I love deals. Deals for mealllsssss. I wouldn't have bought two otherwise. I was planning on buying a second one and ending our relationship there.. for a good long while. Ha ha. These are the only two colors I wanted. If they get a berry color.. someone let me know. Ha ha.

Here is what came in the box! In the upper left corner is a 40% off coupon/card thing for Ofra. It says it doesn't expire so I'll be using this if they add any more colors to the line that I like. Ha ha. There are the two colors I bought in the lower left. I got a basic red "Atlantic City" and a purple "New Orleans." In that baggy are some free samples! Ha ha. Read on for more details and swatches.

Here are my two colors out of their fancy boxes. The samples I received starting from lower right to upper left are: "Soft pearl peel", "biotech cream", and two "peptide complex series moisturizers."

Their website says this about each one:

Soft Pearl Peel: Soft Pearl Peal is a gentle and effective exfoliating cream for the face and neck and is suitable for all skin types (avoid friction movements on acne skin). This peal can be used wet or dry and will leave skin clear, clean, smooth and fresh. Soft Pearl Peal will also reduce pigmentation, remove dead skin cells and eliminate black heads. 

This product can be used in two different ways: dry (gomage), or wet, For a dry application, apply a small quantity on clean skin on the face and neck. Let dry for 5-10 minutes, then rub off gently. As a wet application apply on clean skin on the face and neck and wait 5 minutes, then use wet fingertips and rub for one minute before washing off with warm water. In cases of acne, apply on clean skin then wash off after 10 minutes. (Do not rub this peel on acne skin as the pustules can open up and infect other parts of the face.)

Biotech Cream: Hypoallergenic and hydrating day and night cream, which consists of an effective network of antioxidants and nourishing ingredients. Suitable for dry, normal and combination skin types. Cutting edge peptide technology – 5% Argereline acts similar to a topical face muscle relaxer, reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and acting as an alternative to toxic injections assisting in the formation of the skin's regenerative layers. It is a firming cream which dramatically reduces the appearance of wrinkles and helps increase elasticity. It promotes younger, smoother looking skin. Continued use repairs and strengthens the skin, restoring it to its natural health and vitality. Results are significant and long lasting. (Argereline is a peptide made synthetically in a laboratory environment and consists of Amino Acids, which are the basic unit for protein. Protein is composed of Amino Acid. Two or more Protein becomes Peptides. Amino acids and protein have many functions in our body. Amino acids Protein make up the human body.) Use as a moisturizer day and night or as a neck firming cream. For maximum results first use Biotech Face Gel and finish with Biotech Eye Cream.

Peptide Complex Series Moisturizer: OFRA Cosmetic Laboratories’ Peptide Moisturizer is made from a blend of sophisticated ingredients to create a luxurious cream with unbelievable results. This face moisturizer is a wrinkle reducing premium peptide based cream that will hydrate the skin while producing anti-aging effects. The moisturizer helps correct signs of aging, uneven tones, enlarged pores, loss of radiance and smoothness, dryness and discoloration. This hypoallergenic, high-performing, smooth cream delivers anti-wrinkle action with the feel of absolute comfort and can be used day and night. It also provides full sun protection. Suitable for combination, normal and dry skin types.

So, all three of these are for my face! Haha. I wasn't sure by their names. I'm pretty excited about these. I know some people hate the little foil packets they get but I love them!

L to R: New Orleans, Atlantic City, and Laguna Beach

 Above are the three colors right after I swatched them so you can see them wet. Below is after a minute and they had dried or "matted" lol This shows something important about these. If you put too much on it will NEVER matte. See how the laguna beach still has wet spots on the top? That is because I put too much on there. You need VERY LITTLE to cover you lips. I've seen people complaining about them being wet and sticky. This is went there is so much product that they can't matte. I did this the second time I wore the product. It was horrible. It isn't difficult just dab a little and rub your lips together and then get the edges. A little goes a long way.

I've always wanted a purple lipstick and I'm SO glad that my first is one of my favorites! This is me doing a little dance in my head while swatching.

☻☻January Lip Monthly Unboxing + December Lip Monthly Review☻☻

Lip Monthly is a monthly subscription box for LIP products (plus one non-lip item.) Every month, they will send out a new set of lip products. Sometimes the lip boxes have different colors but usually they are all the same brand.

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $10 per month

They ship to the U.S., Canada, and Internationally

1. OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in "Laguna Beach" $19.90

Lovelovelove this! It dries matte and isn't over drying or flaky. My husband didn't even know I was wearing any lipstick because this color is almost my perfect match. I think it's the perfect nudey pink. I'll look into getting more colors from this line.

2. MICA Beauty Cosmetics Lip Color Pot in "Velvet Rose" for $14.95

Lovely color and I like the feel of it on my lips. It feels like a tinted lip balm. I'll wear it with a lip liner next and see how that goes.

3. Ecolips Ecotints in "Rose Quartz" for $4.49

This is such a weird shape! It is almost colorless and doesn't have much of a smell. I'll be passing this on because I have too many lip balms and tinted lip balms!

4. Harvey Prince Damask Rose Perfume sample $12 (full size is $55)

I like the scent which the card says is Gardenia and Pink Grapefruit but my lungs are sensitive to scents and they quickly started burning after giving this a few sniffs so I'll be passing it on as well.

Total spent for the bag: $10

Total bag is worth: $50

Total saved: $51.34

Ofra.. liquid lipstick.. 'nuff said.
